In rural India, livestock is not just an asset — it’s the backbone of every farmer’s livelihood. Yet, access to timely veterinary care, disease detection, and productivity monitoring has remained a major challenge. Recognizing this, Verdant Impact has introduced an innovative solution that combines IoT sensors, mobile applications, and artificial intelligence to help farmers monitor their animals’ health in real-time.
🌾 Empowering Farmers Through Smart Technology
Verdant Impact’s PASHU.AI platform, designed under the leadership of Manish Kumar, bridges the gap between traditional animal care and modern digital tools. The system enables farmers to track their cattle’s health, feeding patterns, and productivity using wearable IoT devices and a simple smartphone app. This combination of “Desi Pashupalan” and modern technology is transforming animal management across rural India.
As featured in Patrika, more than 57,000 farmers have already benefited from this technology, with many witnessing up to 68% growth in average income. The platform is available free of cost, ensuring accessibility for small and marginal farmers.
📡 How It Works
Smart Monitoring – Farmers attach lightweight IoT sensors to their cattle.
Real-Time Data – The sensors continuously collect data on temperature, movement, and feeding behavior.
AI-Powered Analysis – PASHU.AI analyzes the data to detect early signs of illness or stress.
Instant Alerts – The farmer receives instant notifications and recommendations via the app.
Remote Vet Access – Through integrated video and chat features, farmers can consult certified veterinarians without leaving their farms.
🌍 Building Rural Resilience
By leveraging satellite data, voice AI, and multilingual interfaces, Verdant Impact ensures inclusivity for farmers in remote areas. The app supports Hindi, English, and local languages, enabling seamless adoption even for first-time smartphone users.
According to the report, the initiative not only improves animal health and milk yield but also reduces veterinary costs and resource wastage by 25%. The project’s expansion plans include integrating smart nutrition management, digital vaccination records, and blockchain-based milk traceability.
💡 A Step Toward Sustainable Agriculture
Verdant Impact’s work represents a crucial step toward data-driven, sustainable, and community-led agriculture. By combining IoT, AI, and indigenous wisdom, the company is creating a model of rural innovation that uplifts farmers and strengthens India’s dairy ecosystem.
